The Impact of Race on U.S. Foreign Policy A Reader

Edited By Michael L. Krenn Copyright 1999

    This book shows that race has played an important role in the nation's foreign relations from the time the first English colonists clambered onto the shores of the North American continent. It also shows that the colonists had already progressed rather far in defining themselves in racial terms.
